Customer Reviews

My first book on Wicca--and thankfully only the first
This was the first book I ever read on Wicca and true Witchcraft. And thankfully it was only the first, because the book is terrible. A lot of the spells are in violation of the Rede, such as spells to gain power over another, and spells involving bird's blood and such. And some is just plain ridiculas, such as using jelly beans in an altar layout. I'm willling to bet the author picked up a lot of material through the classic brews of "witches"--newt's ear, bat's blood, cow's foot, none of which actual ingreidients to anything but a very bad-smelling stew.

In summary, a poorly written, badly researched book. If anyone wishes to read about real Wicca and learn something, I suggest one of Scott Cunningham's books.

Not a great book!!
I would not recommend this book to anyone just beginning to follow the Wiccan path. The love spells are in violation of the Wiccan Rede and unfortunately, if this is one of your first books, you may not know or understand this (and could get yourself into some trouble!!). I would recommend reading many other books--such as "Wicca" and "Living Wicca" by Scott Cunningham and "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk--before purchasing/using spells from this one. Some of the information is useful, such as the herbal and colour correlations, but overall, not a wise buy!

A good book
This is a great book, filled with useful spells and charms. I would recommend some prior experience in wicca, as at times the spells can be complex, and difficult to complete.
